    Default Awww, Anakin!

    Ok, am I the only creampuff actually sad for Darth Vader at the end? I just finished watch Revenge of the Sith and I was actually sad to see that bitter douchebag go down in flames...literally. You know it's inevitable but it's still a downer.

    That was the first time I actually watched them back to back. Before there were years in between so it was different. Seeing this cute little boy grow up to be this great guy that goes off the rails was actually sad. Poor guy. It sucks that he became a homicidal maniac but he was lookin' good for a minute there.

    I just wanted the actor to shut the fuck up, so I was very glad to see him go down in flames. I swear, you'd think George Lucas would be able to hire better people. Even Natalie Portman--she's usually awesome, but she sucked in that movie. I think he was waaaay too concerned with the special effects and not nearly concerned about the more basic, and more important, things: like script, plot, etc.

    Who would you have liked to see in the role? I can't think of a guy off the top of my head who would fit like a glove. I think Heath Leger would have been too old for it. There were definitely moments I thought the script could be fleshed out a little more. I thought Natalie was good though.

    This is off topic but is it me or do Natalie Portman and Keira Knightley look like sisters?

    Thank you! He was a whiny man-bitch who, despite his connection to the Force, apparently has daily periods.

    Hayden Christensen is actually a great actor. Watch Broken Glass and tell me he is a bad actor. Liam Neeson? Ewan Mcgregor? Jimmy Smits? Natalie Portman? Christopher Lee? ALL of them, great actors. All of them acted like shit on the Star Wars movies. The one Lucas needed to get rid of was himself, he was the only problem in those movies.

    lol. My hubby was watching the marathon the other day. He says Anakin ruined the Trilogy.

    I personally feel bad for the character, but not the actor.

    You are god.

    I was 10 when the original star wars movie came out. When you're 10, and Star Wars hit the screen, it was like....WHAM, so I was really hopeful for these prequels.

    THEY SUCKED. ALL of them. The story, the actors, the CGI, the whole damn thing was ....blah. I'd rather jerk off with sand paper than watch the first one, and the by the time Darth Vader is born, I was like.....good...shut that whiny asshole up and let's get a REAL evil guy in here.

    Yeah, that killed me!! He was so sensitive. I kept wondering if it was a statement about trauma unhealed running amok or a statement about being sensitive at all. He was the only jedi who seemed to have a mate and Yoda was telling him to let go of all that made him feel possessive. Was the point that he could not do his job unless he cut off his emotional needs, or did he just need to keep his fears in perspective. Since Lucas is known to be uber-controlling it all made me wonder.

    You can't be a Jedi if you have fear. Fear is the path to the dark side. If you love someone, you fear for their safety and well-being, and you fear losing them. That is why Jedi aren't allowed to love and have a partner.

    My guess on why Lucas made him so emotional and sensitive is because he needed Anakin to be a character who could be turned to the dark side by the emporer. If he were more level-headed and calm it'd be hard to write him turning.

    Anakin.

    Whiny Emo / almost Goth kid.

    May as well gave him eye liner, blacl painted nails, and a razor blade necklace.

    Gahhhhhhhhh.

    I would have been better if he had really lusted for power instead of fear for someone else driving him to the Dark side. If the more control of the Force he gained the more he craved that would have made more sense.

    All the boo hooing. Man the fuck up, Padawan learner!

    Exactly.

    If you want a laugh, hop on Youtube and watch Paton Oswald's bit about going back in a time machine to confront Lucas about the prequels. Great bit. Nails it.

    What the prequels really needed was a charming rogue Han Solo type character. Without that you are left with boring stuck up virgin Jedis and mr "im one mean comment from Samuel L Jackson away from writing dark poetry on my live journal" as the only characters.

    Yeah, he wasn't very serene and solemn. I thought he was gonna kick Anakin's ass for a minute there.
